I've been looking for documentation about split packages in the usual

do we have the same PKGBUILD man page ? :)

PACKAGE SPLITTING
makepkg supports building multiple packages from a single PKGBUILD.
This is achieved by assigning an array of package names to the pkgname
directive. Each split package uses a corresponding packaging function
with name package_foo(), where foo is the name of the split package.
All options and directives for the split packages default to the global
values given within the PKGBUILD. However, some of these can be
overridden within each split package’s packaging function. The
following variables can be overridden: pkgdesc, license, groups,
depends, optdepends, provides, conflicts, replaces, backup, options and
install.
An optional global directive is available when building a split
package:
pkgbase
The name used to refer to the group of packages in the output of
makepkg and in the naming of source-only tarballs. If not
specified, the first element in the pkgname array is used.
and don't forget about the proto
